Did you know that it is not "illegal," for a person to enter the United States without documentation for the first incident?
By way of evidence, consider that first-timers are not charged with anything -- they are simply deported at taxpayer expense.
Did you know that the US has a pretty decent immigration policy that includes administration buildings and staff along the border where a bloke can get a decent meal and a cuppa joe? Congress never funded it.
Your obsession with the word, "illegal," is transparent as a mindless trigger to mask ignorance.
The paradigm shift is to return to the days of monopolies. Americans want capitalism to rule.
Also, Americans want to move away from global dominance in the sciences and technology. Americans wish for a return to a White Evangelical Christian majority rule.
Americans are irrationally scared shitless of immigrants to the point of ignoring that immigrants provide a positive influence.
The needle is pegged to the right.
In fairness, that's what America wants. We the People have spoken, and the way forward is most likely a global depression.
I don't foresee a world war.
I hope she closes the borders, invokes trade wars, disconnects from climate change efforts, refuses to do commerce with outsiders, deports immigrants, and shifts income to the 1%.
The vote got us here and it's taking us there.
I'm waiting for consequences to kick in as a game-changer and voters feel compelled to elect statespersons instead of batshit crazy unqualified heads of state.
Wow. Thank you. I have read all the quantum physics books I can find, most recently one published in 2017 by Paul Halpern (quantum fundamentalist) "The Quantum Labyrinth."
I bookmarked your reference link. It summarizes the state of the art of quantum computing very well.
I enjoy reading posts by those who get it and have additional information to add. Thanks..
To explain the problem of QC (which is quantum jitters) I can offer an analogy (I'm not clever enough to make it a car one, though):
The speed of light, "c" is qualified by the value of "in a vacuum."
A vacuum is defined as a space that has nothing. Zero. Zip shit. Nada. That knowing, with certainty, as agreed, violates the Uncertainty Principle.
So, what's the deal with the fucking vacuum? It's a quantum vacuum. Some call it a quantum foam. Particles appear and disappear at random times and places with random energies, spins, magnetic moments, and other exotic features.

That doesn't stop anyone from using the theoretical value for the speed of light in a vacuum to sell us a bitcoinized cloudly coated AI-driven ball cap.
Your point is well taken. Cost is a factor (ignoring the fact that QC can'y get that big). As the qubit count rises, the structure necessary to combat the three evils I listed gets to be enormous. We're talking LHC large, at least.
"Nil Tl Son, do you see the large cold thing? Take it out."
I swim in the quantum theory waters and it's goddam near impossible to rake the jiggle out of one qubit. The temperature has to be at near-absolute zero and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle plus all of the laws of thermodynamics and the properties of quantum vacuum are working against us.
As the qubit count increases, the randomness multiplies at an exponential rate. It's a nice dream, as is the theory of AI killing us all, but the hurdles are too great.
In the spirit of, "never say never," a practical quantum computer is at least 100 years away.
And here's the 411 on the encryption fear, anyway: A quantum computer that could instantly break today's encryption could just as quickly create encryption that is impossible to break.
I'm in Southeast Texas, where there are more fucking oil refineries than Carter's got little liver pills.
I worked at Texaco down in Port Arthur, starting out in the canning factory. We offloaded boxcars full of, new cans for the conveyor belt leading up to the oil injectors.
The cans were labeled, Havoline, mostly, but we also got cans branded, "Philco," "Caltex," and languages I don't understand.
Exxon cans a shitload brands of oil. Mobil is one of them, but it's just a different paint job. I retired from Mobil Oil just before it was bought out.

I got ten one dollar bills in exchange for one ten dollar bill and I was pretty much neutral regarding the transaction.
You know, you could read before posting.

The guy who could grab 'em by the pussy because he was a star can rape America because he's the president.
I am.

Sorta like FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Verizon shill.
what is your question ...
I don't have questions. I have answers.
I'm sorry, but your knowledge of quantum and classical physics does not rise to the level where I can be of any help.
Perhaps you could concentrate on the study of pregnant squirrels eating sandwiches.
... address climate change, immigration, fossil fuels, government corruption and validated pussy-grabbers.
See you in the funny papers.
It's inherently obvious to the casual observer that you don't know bullshit from wild honey.
You need parental controls.
Boiling AIDS infested Lipton tea produces Lipton tea.
Off topic, but I'll byte.
Then you have a future where I have to walk around with a gun
You're full of shit and I can give examples.
Recall the Civil Rights Riots. Recall the Vietnam Riots. Recall the Ferguson riots. Recall the Baltimore riots.
Using those examples, and others, you won't be using guns.
No, you'll be using stone-age technology.
No idea what anime/etc you're referencing either, should anyone know that?
They should.
I do.
I cleverly counter your remarks with the +10 sword of blockchain.
Care to expand and defend your remarks?
Sorry for the down mods. As for me, I see what you did there.

Yeah, never fear the time when NSA, CIA and all other three letter agencies have a multibillion $ quantum computer ...
You had a good reply right there and fucked it up with the "before and after," words.
I agree. Plenty of revenue all around. Hype a disease; hype a cure.
Laughter is the best medicine when opportunists abound.

Facebook is a dopamine delivery system.
When different-branded cans were filled by the same goddam oil injectors, just where did the extra molecules come from?
